Backing Tracks
If the fish swam out of the ocean
And grew legs and they started walking
And the apes climbed down from the trees
And grew tall and they started talking
And the tears rolled into the ocean
And now I’m looking for a reason why
You even set my world into motion
Then the stars don’t even matter
Now I’m filled to the top with fear
That it’s all just a bunch of matter
I don’t want to be either
I wanna be next to you
Black and gold, black and gold, black and gold
I look up into the night sky
And see a thousand eyes staring back
And all around these golden beacons
I see nothing but black
I don’t see what I can feel
If vision is the only validation
Then most of my life isn’t real
Then the stars don’t even matter
Now I’m filled to the top with fear
That it’s all just a bunch of matter
Then I don’t want to be either
I wanna be next to you
Black and gold, black and gold, black and gold
(Black and gold, black and gold, black and gold)
Black and gold, black and gold, black and gold, oh oh
Then the stars don’t even matter
Now I’m filled to the top with fear
That it’s all just a bunch of matter
I don’t want to be either
I wanna be next to you
Black and gold, black and gold, black and gold
